The two main factors of wire rope damage: corrosion, wear and tear

Cause of corrosion：

Water is the most common pollutant. In the ocean, mines, construction sites and other occasions, the wire rope is usually exposed to the sun and rain environment, the damage is very serious.

Destructive force of corrosion：

Pitting and abrasive corrosion of rope strands, resulting in reduced impact resistance, fatigue breakage, etc. The service life of the wire rope decreases sharply, thus causing safety accidents.

Cause of wear：

Wire rope wear is rope strands, wire contact or impurity grinding generated, and its internal and external at the same time (wire to wire, strand to strand) wire rope wear is mainly due to the lack of lubrication and cleaning, impurity grinding and lubricating greases, such as extreme pressure anti-wear properties caused by poor.

Serious consequences:

Serious localized abrasion between wire and wire, strand and strand, leading to sudden breakage of the wire rope or serious distortion of the main core protruding and causing safety accidents!
